stopped in after 1 pm on a Thursday. service was excellent. Large amounts of good food. Lentil soup, beef shawarma entree and chicken shawarma appetizer. read more

I've been coming here regularly for 2 years now. This place is amazing. They serve fresh middle eastern food right here in Chicago.

All of the food is great. Chicken or steak kabobs are my fav. The garlic sauce is a nice touch. Lentil soup is just right. If you go when they are busy the service is extremely lacking. read more

I had the lamb kalaia and it was pretty good. The torshi went nice with the rice and veggies in the plate. The lamb was cooked perfectly and the side of lentil soup was amazing. The only issue I have with this place is the fact that they forgot my side of bread and there was no sauce with the entree. Other than that, great staff, great prep time and good food. read more

Delivery took almost two hours...and it never arrived. Canceled order. Still awaiting my refund.

24hours Shawarma chicken and Beef. Very nice and family owned restaurant. Fresh and health very good price $11 to $13 for one plate. The feed you like you never eaten before. Very big portions. Very fast service and great food. Have small parking but easy to find parking around. read more

Such generous Portions, Pallate pleasers and Prices! A favorite restaurant of mine. The staff is kind and welcoming in a laid back environment. THANK YOU to all who contribute to making it what it is, for us, the customers. read more

Shwarma Inn is the truth. It is a little pricey but man is it good. It's also served super quick and I like the family atmosphere inside. Some of the best kefta you can grab in Chicago. And a combo plate has enough food to feed a small army. Bravo read more

The food is perfect Service is amazing Atmosphere is wonderful What else can one ask for? Came here for the first time today and I will be returning very often! Also, thank you for the free soup given to go to my little sister, that was a sweet gesture! (Instead of giving her a To go cup for her soup they gave her a brand new one to go as long as she finishes her current one which she gladly did! Thank you! read more

Honestly the best shawarma in the city. I have been trying a bunch of places lately for shawarma but I think Shawarma Inn is hands down the best. Awesome food, and you get so much for the price. Would definitely recommend for dining in or take out. Make sure to ask for the hot sauce! read more

Love it! Combo plate a must. Lamb cooked to your liking and always juicy and tender. Staff is very personable. Seems to be family owned which is a plus in my book. Rice....fab! Soup....souperb! Nice big TV, background music playing, not the Drake, but atmosphere is homey and definitely worth the trip. Kid friendly. A must for first timers and those who like M.E. food. GET THE TORSHI, ITS DA BOMB!!! read more

I am still a big fan of this place! The hummus is awesome. I picked some up and brought it to a bbq this weekend. It was eaten up pretty quickly by the crowd. People loved it and kept asking me where I got it from. The lentil soup is still one of my favorites. I really wasn't a lentil fan until I tried the soup here. The kefta has great flavor and seasoning and it's become a regular go to place for me. The food is delicious and the price is very affordable. read more

Food is pretty good but too many issues with service, delivery and take out. A month ago I ordered delivery, was told it would take 30 minutes (I live 3 blocks away, yes, I'm lazy!) and 90 minutes later it arrives cold. Decided to try take out, was told 15 minutes and when I arrived 20 minutes later, the order wasn't ready and I ended up walking out after waiting 10 minutes. read more

I love the combination plate but this time I was very disappointed in the delivery service. 1st The lady took my order I asked for a plane shawarma sandwich, I repeated my order several times, when I get my order it was not what I requested. 2nd I received my order an hour late because she took my address wrong. I had to call three times to check on the status on my food and the same damn lady answers and puts me on hold for 8 minutes, twice in a row. They need to put someone who can speak English fluently and have good customer service. Not sure if I will ever order again. read more

We live nearby and order from Shawarma Inn on a regular basis. The beef shawarama plate is a generous portion with rice and two small salads included plus soup. The lentil soup is delicious and definitely a favorite of mine. My only disappointment is that they do not serve arab coffee. The owner gruffly informed me one day he did not want people sitting around drinking coffee and eating humus all day. By the way the hummus is also delicious and I could definitely sit around doing that all day if I had the chance. In short this place is all about the good food, simple decor and great service. Check it out for yourself. read more

This place is by far the best kabab place in Chicago for me. If you compare the price taste ratio, you can't find anything close in the country, I would say. Its not a fancy place at all, just table chairs and friendly staff. If you are craving kabab and don't care about the ambiance this is the place to go. And they are open 24 hours! read more

We live close so yes we are bias because it's convenient but honestly my husband and I LOVE this Spot! The Shwarma sandwich and 50/50 plate are our favorites. The fact that it is open 24 hours and the staff is incredibly kind and GORGEOUS is a total added bonus! Love this place, the food is amazing and priced well for the excellent quality. read more

This is my favorite spot to eat middle eastern food! They are open late which is very convenient and their food is absolutely delicious! The staff is very friendly and I always feel welcomed when I am there. My favorite is the chicken shawarma sandwich. Definitely recommend! read more

This place is very awesome , can't have enough of their food . Me and my fiancé always wanted to have a shawarma that tasted like the ones we used to have back in our country .. this actually passed it by so much . Also , loved the service , and the chef is awesome , always makes sure you loved the food and recommends other food for the next time we're there ... you need to try this place is awesome read more

Extremely disappointed with this place we typically order from here when we crave for shawarma which is pretty often! Ordered 6 plates total and one pita wrap spent over 100 on food because we had company food arrived and a lot of items were missing. Called restaurant 5 mins after food arrived and spoke to TWO different people about the issue in the end I was sent two chicken shawarma plate which I never ordered! Maybe things would have been fine if the two plate of chicken shawarma was good but it wasn't and we knew it doesn't travel as well as the beef that's why we do not typically order chicken for that reason. I should have taken photos of all the wasted food that my guests and I did not get to enjoy. I was even asked for my order number which was FFC5E via uber eats and still got the order wrong. Maybe this place is too popular and understaff that is why customer service and quality of food is going down hill. I might have to start going to Larsa's on Touhy and Kedzie. read more

My wife had the meat combo and she said it was the best flavor she ever tasted. I ordered the vegetarian combo and it was one of the best dishes in the world . The lentil soup at the beginning of the meal was to die for. read more

Hands down my favorite place for kabobs in Chicago. I eat here often and I am never disappointed with the food. The kefta kabob platter is an awesome value, served with a salad, soup, and huge portions of rice and bread - you can't find a better dinner deal for $10 in this city. It's a small restaurant and can get busy at certain hours, but the staff is always friendly and keeps up with the crowds. Open 24 hours, this place never lets me down - amazing food at awesome prices! read more

Just moved down the street from Shawarma Inn and i constantly see people in there at all hours of the night. Well, that was me last night, for the first time after a few late night hours of karaoke from Hidden Cove and HOLY SHeeT. It blew my mind. The absolute best beef shawarma ive ever had. Crispy on the outside but so tender that it melted in your mouth. No fatty pieces. The lentil soup was bomb too!! Nice and hearty. Im right now finishing up my leftovers, which is still delectable, cuz they gave me such a fat plate!! Service was great too. Super sweet and fast!! So lookin forward to havin them around the corner from me. I will be there often. read more

This place is a great find. The food is tasty and the portions are huge. Always have left overs. Love this place and the deliveries are always quick. read more

Great prices, lots of good food. I pretty much love the combination plates both veggie and non, both appetizer and entree, and the fact that all entrees come with a decent sized salad and full bowl of soup is one of the amenities that will keep me coming back. The service was excellent, both waitresses were sweet and friendly and made us feel welcome. It is the kind of place that you can go and chill out over a cup of tea and piece of baklava, or enjoy a whole meal with your whole family. read more

Best Chicken Shawarma I have had in a long time! Can read my review on https://www.facebook.com/novyknowschicago

Plenty of food in the middle of the night! Sounds wrong but it feels right! Especially after a Saturday night party! :)

The combination plate is awesome! My husband loves the lentil soup & garlic sauce!

Where can I start,,,,, the most amazing Middle Eastern food ever. Let's start off with the rice, it's called basmati rice , with the most flavorful tika.not to mention the Kost juiced chicken kabob. The employees (family) that work there have the best service ever. By the way there portions are are very generous, I mean like I'm a very heavy Eater and it fulls me up. Touche shawrmma Inn. read more

I really like their falafel and chicken shawarma. Their dinner entries come with soup and salad, food is always really good!

Today i ordered Shawarma plate and Kefta plate to go, i picked it up went home and opened boxes, it appeared that they put Beef kabab plate instead of Kefta kabab. Actually Its not a big deal, but the problem is my kid asked for Kefta and i decided to call them back and just let them know that they made a mistake. But somehow, the girl i talked to became nervous and started not yelling but SCREAMING at me that i did a mistake( i thought maybe she is right.. than i asked my friend,thanks god she was next to me, and she said that i ordered kefta). When i asked why is she screaming, she asked me what i want from her?! Yeah who am i to show them their mistakes just a customer, which comes every week. Do guys, i just wanna say that they have great kitchen and awful service, and if you don't want to be treated like a GARBAGE DON'T GO there! or order online p.s hope owner will see the review, and do something about this un respectful, crazy MICHELLE-THE MANAGER!!!!( thats what she said, sound like OWNER of all Chicagoland) read more

I wanted to see this place for myself since im from this neighborhood. This place is great. The food here comes in huge proportions and always taste amazing. Its has a fresh taste and a variety of Middle Eastern cuisine, including the beef kabob which is this restaurants signature plate. I think this is part of some franchise. There is no way this can be compared to the place across the street. Just for the clarification, they are two completely different places. Shawarma Inn is Middle Eastern and Hubs is just a fast food joint offering one ethnic manufactured Greek Plate(Kronos Gyro) I loved the garlic sauce be sure to ask for that and of course their great tasting Shawarma read more

Don't eat there. I saw a dead cockroach when i attempted to eat there. Plus my friend had ate there couple weeks ago, and she had a couple pieces of hair in her food. Dont eat there, gross place and shady people. read more

The Combo is sooooooooooooo Good. The soups are GREAT. And Best of all they are 24 Hrs................

Great place and fast service. I definitely recommend the steak shawarma. They are open for 24 hours, it is a great Mediterranean place after a bar. Their price is very reasonable. read more

Great service and unbelievable food! I came here on my lunch break and ordered the combination entrée. I did not know I would get so much food, salad, soup, huge plate of different meats and rice. I wasn't even able to finish everything, but I cant wait to try the other menu items. Location is great, right across from hubs and 7/11, and there is a small parking lot so you don't have to park on the street and pay. I will be back!! read more

The great shawarma inn!! This place is just amazing because of two reasons the food type and it being 24 hours. I love this type of food and I'd rather eat this late night than McDonald's. We couldn't find parking at the parking lot because of it being very busy the time we arrived. The girl asked us how many we had and I said 4 she came and gave me menus and pointed me at the table I wanted to sit by the window but she told me I couldn't because if a big party comes in she has to make room for them. I understand that she wants to make room for a big party but she doesn't even know if one is coming and it's very weird that she really didn't let us sit there. I ordered the beef shawarma sandwich with lentil soup and the yogurt drink (dowa). Our food came out in about 15 minutes and the sandwich was good the meat has a lot of flavor but I think to much flavor beef shawarma doesn't need to much going on its a very basic thing. I tried my friends chicken shawarma and I didn't like it it was very crunchy and that disgust me. The garlic sauce they have is excellent also!! The server girl is terrible I don't understand her and she didn't refill my water once.. This place is a must if you're late night munchies kick in! read more

Shawarma Inn Shawarma Inn is located at 5533 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago in the corner of other small stores. You won't be able to see it far away because it small restaurant but you can definitely smell the food from the outside. When outside looking at the store, looks old and not well designed. Even though from the outside is not that classy or professional the inside is what matters. There are signs hanging on the door or on the walls of the store to let people know what they are selling/ cooking. There are also space for parking in front of the store when it gets to busy and there are lots of people parked outside of the store and next to it the signs are not seen because it blocks the view and the store. When you go in, as you open the door a waiter/s welcomes you in and let you have a seat and be given a big menu. The waitress are very friendly mostly there are 2 to 3 girls serving. Every 15 minutes they come and ask if you need anything else and if you like the food. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very relaxing. They have pictures of the old workers/ cooks that use to cook there many years ago. makes you think of the old style and history of the store. The seating is woody and not very comfortable. There is a big shawarma sign on the wall, because shawarma is famous in middle eastern culture and everyone asks for it when entering a middle eastern restaurant. The music is rock, and mostly they put from the radio. Not only middle easterners come to this restaurant but others come to, I mostly see indians because there food is similar to ours and they like kabab. The menu is a good size to choose from. There are multiple food, drink you may want to order. I always choose chicken with extra yellow rice side with pickles and salad also bread.The wait to for the food is usually 15 to 20 minutes. They serve the food on a white plane plate with silver forks, spoons. The Tv keeps me busy and not have to worry about when the food is served. Nothing could have been any better rather than the salad needed a lot of dressing and some spices added to it because it feels dry. Rather than that the rice is well cooked and the chicken is delicious. The rice wasn't that dry and you can eat it without choking. They also get you water on the side and whatever you order for drink that is the price I always get pepsi with my food. The bread is not thick its slightly thin and kind of burned to make it more of a taste. The price of the food was cheap if you pay for yourself only. Overall the food I get all the time it costs about $25. I Very so recommend shawarma Inn restaurant if you are looking for good warm and cozy food. read more

This place is a hidden gem! Try it out and you will not be disappointed.

Get the lentil soup -- never a disappointment. The meat can be gristly, but other things are good -- tabouleh, falafel etc. Nothing mind-blowing, except for the soup. But when it's 1 am and you're a little drunk, it's pretty much your best option in that area. Bonus: really, really easy to find a cab afterwards! read more
